Did it! Put a deposit on a motorhome!
Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2012 8:31 pm
Having received my first SS check this morning, I took the big step for me and called the dealer to ask a few questions. I decided the unit they had in stock and that I drove a couple of weekends ago would be the right one at the right price, so I put a deposit on it via my credit card. I have financing approval from my credit union, but now need to arrange the details of insurance and closing the deal next weekend! Yea! My more than a year search is over!
To say I am thrilled to be joining you actual owners is an understatement! There were times I never thought it would happen.
I am not sure if we will actually pick it up on Saturday, but my son is looking for a storage lot where I can keep it for three months while I finish working, get toe surgery, and close on my condo. We can also do some practice camping. (His house is in Ohio, closer to the dealer, so that makes sense.)
I have been sorting stuff that will go into the motorhome from stuff that will go into storage, so it will be nice to start moving the piles. I have a minivan so I can take loads down there and put things away to make my actual moving day easier. If we can arrange a storage space near my son's house, we may park it in his driveway on Saturday night and "play" in it. Kids will have a picnic! Me too! Maybe I'll even try sleeping in it.
